To say "everything is subjective" is to cop out with extreme relativism. If you want to say that we are only dealing with personal truths than what would the point of discussion be?
Yeah, we all are ignorant, to a degree, and the degree differs according to the individual's interpretation of what they experience. Honest debate will get us past a lot of these issues in discussion because it will just get rid of all those personal problems clouding what you convey.
Also, I wouldn't be so quick to assume that the same scrutiny is not applied to science or other belief structures than what posters here display by those you seem to be referring to. Sometimes I've been harsh on people here, but it's only because I have experienced the same thing and learned the falsity of the perception the hard way and would rather give others an opportunity to learn without pain, but of course people can always assume that I'm just being a jackass. Take your divine choice lol
